Microwave contacts should be at least 4 points. Much of the time you can
spend 30 minutes just completing one contact. Lowering the points would
lower the activity.

(1 point for 6 & 2, 2 points for 222 & 432, 4 points for microwave.) In my
opinion, back when microwave activity was low and sections were multipliers
the bonuses were valid. If bonus points per QSO are still valid with grid
squares, are the current values the best numbers?
